There are 2 people who’ve been advocates for students with no other agenda: Joe Marckini and Heidi Reed. Vote for them on November 8 to preserve the work being done on behalf of all students in our district.

Joe Marckini has seen his two daughters graduate from Cedar Springs Public Schools and go on to be successful in college and beyond. Joe knows what a wonderful staff and community it takes to provide for a successful education for our students. As a sheet metal construction worker, Joe understands that all students need to be prepared for their future, whatever their interests may be. He’s a school board member who asks staff and students for their opinions and wants them to be a part of the educational process. Marckini is a school board member who wants to ensure that there is equality for all students. Incumbent Joe Marckini loves this district and this community. He is positive about the all the advancements of the district. He keeps a close eye on finances, policy and opportunities for students. For these reasons and more, I am voting for Joe Marckini, a man with integrity, passion and courage to lead the way.

Heidi (Zank) Reed is a Cedar Springs native who has advocated on behalf of all students, including special needs students. She has taken the time to cheer on and personally thank the excellent teachers and support staff of this great district. She is a believer in Cedar Springs Public Schools and has seen her own children and others thrive as students. As a long-time businesswoman in Cedar Springs, she has proven her service to others in this community. Heidi Reed has been actively engaged in school board meetings and advocacy for staff and students alike. She understands the role of the school board and how it will serve to lead the district forward. Please join me and so many others in voting for Heidi Reed, a community-centered, collaborative leader focused on kids first.
